reported as having agents at the alleged cat

Cyrus w. Field.
From the Neto York World.

From the NetC York World.
TO lose a fortune is no more of a novelty tc
Cyrus w. Field than to make one. The son of a
Connecticut clergyman, he began his business
life as O clerk in A T. Stewards dry goods
store. He must have been very popular with
the nther employees, for when he left Stewart s
they gave him an oyster supper and presented
him with gold scarf-pin adorned with a small
ruby, and the salaries of Stewart s clerks were
never large enough to make oyster slppers and
ruby pins common. Mr.. Field went into the
paper trade and became rich, but while he
was travelling through the country to
solicit orders he was ruined by his
partners folly. Again he built up
a magnificent paper business, paid all
his partners debts and retired with a compe-
tency. This he risked and apparently lost in
the first Atlantic Cable Company, but, like
bread upon the waters, it returned to him after
many days. He bought the Mail when it was a
financial failure and annexed to it the cypress
which even the treasures of John Kelley and
Tammany Hall were insufficient to sustain, and
out Of these two losing concerns he has made a
financial and journalistic success of the Ndil-
Express Such man can no more be kent
down than cork. Having once been bounced
out of the Elevated stock by Samuel j. Tden
and again by Gould and Sage it is expected that
Mr.. Field win undermine his prosecutors bv
doing for the Underground railway what he did
for the ocean cables If he should break out
afresh in that direction the Elevated managers
might as well begin to take down their stills and
give New York its streets once more.

Racon's Defalcation.

1t would not be surprising if the defalca-
ton of the late Levi Bacon, financial clerk
of the Patent Office should be brought to the
notice of Congress and attract much more
attention than it has yet attracted for two
reasons. First there is good reasons for
! thinking that portion of the shortage was
used for political purposes by the Republi-
cans during the Garfield campaign, and,
| second, because no examination of Bacon's
accounts had been made for long time
previous to his death.
1t is stated that the defalcation is much
larger thnn was originally supposed. The
amount of it is now claimed to be SO, coo,
and it may be found to be much larger
when the whole truth is known. The evil
dence that much of the money was paid
over to Jay Hubbell, TO be used to assist in
electing Garfield appears to he pretty
strong. The Republican managers were in
great need of money during that campaign,
and Garfield himself is on record in the
shape of note asking Hubbell about the
political assessments of the clerks of the de-
partments. 1t is not improbable that
Bacon turned quite a large sum Of money
over to Hubbell with the expectation of col
Letting it from the clerks, and failed to do
so. There is no doubt that the practice of
levying political assessments for party pur-
poses was the source of corruption and it is
gratifying that it does not exist under the
present administration. The civil service
reform law has put an end TO it, and public
sentiment will never consent TO its revival.
Bacon's accounts were never looked into
apparently while the Republicans were in
power, and the facts indicate that he has not
been bothered by any examining officer
since the Democrats came into control of af-
fairs. His defalcation shows how important
it is that a thorough oversight shall be kept
of the official affairs of every officer of the
government who has the handling of public
moneys. While no part of Bacon's shortage
may have occurred since the Democrats
came into power, yet, if the law with re
gard to the examination of accounts had
been faithfully enforced, the dedication
would have been discovered long ago.
A day or two ago it was intimated that
the government would be ont only few
hundred dollars because the defaulter's bond
together with what could be collected from
those whose due bills were found in Bacon's
safe, would about cover the whole amount.
1t is now believed, however, that the gov
eminent will be a very considerable loser.
The defalcation is double what it was
originally supposed to be, and there are
grave doubts whether the defaulter's bond
can be collected. The bondsmen are able to
pay but they object to doing so on
the ground that the government neglected
its duty in not making regular examinations
of Bacon's accounts, and thus opened the
way for a much larger shortage than there
would otherwise have been. The defalca-
tion of post office official year or so ago |
was warning to the government which it
ought to have needed Its failure to do so
has been a rather expensive one.
